Question

import beatbox

from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
from datetime import *
import datetime as dt
import mysql.connector
from mysql.connector import Error
from datetime import datetime
query_result= [{'End_Date__c': datetime.date(2018, 7, 20), 'User_Email__c': 'jsmith@test-account.com', 'ProductVersion__c': '1', 'Product_Name__c': 'Payor', 'itil_b__Account__r': {'type': 'Account', 'Id': '', 'Customer_Short_Name__c': 'TESTACCT'}, 'Target_Environment__r': {'type': 'Environment__c', 'Id': '', 'Name': 'TEST-PROD'}, 'type': 'itil_b__Fulfillment__c', 'Id': 'a3sc0000000CiZpAAK'}, {'End_Date__c': datetime.date(2018, 7, 19), 'User_Email__c': 'jsmith@test-account.com', 'ProductVersion__c': '4', 'Product_Name__c': 'CareManager', 'itil_b__Account__r': {'type': 'Account', 'Id': '', 'Customer_Short_Name__c': 'TESTACCT'}, 'Target_Environment__r': {'type': 'Environment__c', 'Id': '', 'Name': 'TEST-NONPROD'}, 'type': 'itil_b__Fulfillment__c', 'Id': 'a3sc0000000CiAyAAK'}]

record=query_result['records']
df=pd.DataFrame(records)
print df

When I execute above python script, I am getting error

TypeError: descriptor 'date' requires a 'datetime.datetime' object but received a 'int'

The input I am passing to query_result got from a salesforce soap Api.

Please help me to resolve this issue.. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Change your import statement from:

from datetime import datetime

to

import datetime

As when you say from datetime import datetime you are just importing one method and that and not the whole module. And you haven't imported the date method. You could also do this:

>>> from datetime import date
>>> date(2018, 9, 20)
datetime.date(2018, 9, 20)

Answer 2

import datetime

datetime(2018, 7, 20).date()
